An appreciation written recently upon the death of Alan Lomax
(1915-2002), one of the original staff members of the Library
of Congress's Archive of American Folk Song (now known as the
Archive of Folk Culture, American Folklife Center) and a pioneer
in documentary recording, and one of the instigators of the Pearl
Harbor oral history project.

A multimedia presentation from the National Geographic Society
on the attack on Pearl Harbor. Includes an interactive map, an
hour-by-hour synopsis of events, and first-hand accounts of the
day from participants on both sides.

The official Web site of the Naval Station at Pearl Harbor.
It contains a link to a separate site on the history of the Dec
7, 1941, attack, as well as information on such diverse subjects
as the ships present during the attack, the events marking the
60th anniversary of the attack, and a virtual tour of the historic
sites.

Another Web site produced by the U.S. Navy on the events of
Dec 7, 1941. Includes a transcription of President Franklin Roosevelt's
speech on December 8, 1941: "Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 -- a date
which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was
suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of
the Empire of Japan..."

An online exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution documents
the story behind "United We Stand," a media campaign designed
to boost the morale of the American people demoralized several
months earlier by the attack on Pearl Harbor. The campaign put
the flag on the cover of magazines across the United States throughout
July 1942.

Thirty-three civilians -- reflecting Hawaii's diverse occupations,
lifestyles, and ethnicities -- talk about World War II and how
it affected their everyday lives. The site includes two audio
clips featuring eyewitness accounts of the bombing of Pearl Harbor.

Another online exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution,
this one exploring the relationship between the Japanese Americans
interned during World War II and the civil rights provided for
citizens under the United States Constitution.
